You're a great editor who's feeling rather cheesed off at the moment. I get it. RfX is tough, even for successful candidates. |

Take the advice on my usertalk and come chat with me in March. Because if you choose to, you can turn this around, and I'll happily turn [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hawkeye7 3|this]] into a bluelink with a nomination in a few months if you do. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 13:58, 2 February 2016 (UTC) |

George Grimson Article

Template links
WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN aside, a redirect in a navbox is broken, as it does not display correctly on the target page. The link is supposed to be a bold 'non-link' on the page in question - if the link is a redirect, it doesn't do that, but instead is still is an active link, making it look like there is a different page for the subject. - The Bushranger One ping only 10:59, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, so one of them is still wrong.
I refer to this RV. "commenced construction of the plutonium semiworks, codenamed X-10" or "[X-10] was the world's second artificial nuclear reactor". The lede bounces back and forth. I don't believe the chemical extraction side was referred to as X-10, and since that is definitely part of the semi works then my edit was correct, or the rest of the lede is wrong. So which is it? Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
- The first one is right. X-10 was the codename for the plutonium semiworks, of which the reactor was part. So what do we have?
- "The X-10 Graphite Reactor was the world's second artificial nuclear reactor"
- "In September 1942, Compton asked a physicist, Martin D. Whitaker, to form a skeleton operating staff for X-10"
- "By March 1944, there were some 1,500 people working at X-10"
- "Exterior of the Graphite Reactor at the X-10 site"
- "the cost of construction at X-10" (Clear here that we are talking about the entire facility)
- "X-10 operated as a plutonium production plant until January 1945"
- "X-10 supplied the Los Alamos Laboratory with the first significant samples of plutonium"
- "The X-10 chemical separation plant"
- "The X-10 Graphite Reactor was shut down on November 4, 1963"
- "One reactor of similar design to the X-10 Graphite Reactor is still in operation today"
- I think the wording is consistent. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
- So the chemical plant beside the reactor is also known as "the X-10 Graphite Reactor"? Maury Markowitz (talk) 23:23, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
"German Air Force" or "Bundeswehr Luftwaffe"
I think it would be good if you would voice your opinion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 January 20. Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Salamaua–Lae campaign
G'day Hawkeye, I've been trying to reference the Salamaua–Lae campaign article this weekend, but have come up blank with the base development information in the Aftermath section of the article. Given the sources you were able to bring to the Battle of Milne Bay article, I was wondering if you might be able to check your library to see if you can add the last couple of references. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:53, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- No worries. Looks like I wrote it back in March 2007. I know where it all comes from. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Edited your nom
[24] I'm assuming you didn't actually memorize Russian poetry by a small Iranian village. But notifying you, just in case you actually did. (I guess there could have been an anonymous Russian poet known only for living there, so becoming known by...) --GRuban (talk) 22:57, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. In the wake of the Vietnam War, the educational authorities decided that the Cold War was lost, and that we should all learn Russian. I found it a difficult subject, not least because I missed a term as a result of a surgical operation. You could pass by passing the exam, or by memorising and reciting a Pushkin poem. So that's what we did. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:49, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Congrats
Congratulation Hawkeye7, you're gonna be an admin! (N0n3up (talk) 04:04, 29 January 2016 (UTC))
Sorry
I've opposed your bid to become an admin, with a degree of regret and awkwardness. My best to you all the same. Tony (talk) 13:19, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry here, too, for not voting, but I won't be voting in any 2016 RfAs because of my work with relevant RfCs. (I suspect we'll be seeing several more big ones this year.) Best of luck, Hawkeye (and Tony, good to see you here). - Dank (push to talk) 16:15, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Dan. One thing that is worth a second look is what bits are needed for ArbCom. There was a couple of hasty RfCs when it was thought that I might win a seat; but it looks now like it has been shelved until next year. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:30, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- I've considered closing RfCs related to Arbcom, mostly because what Arbcom does and doesn't do has a big impact on RfA (as you may have recently noticed). But I'm probably out of my depth there. - Dank (push to talk) 22:39, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

no need for thanks <g>
I was proud to support your RfA. Collect (talk) 21:14, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- Per your inquiry, the answer was probably in part here. But I'll be trying again, probably next spring or so...maybe summer, probably after the Belmont Stakes and the flurry of horse article editing surrounding the triple crown races concludes. I'd most certainly by interested in your input on how I might do a better job next time or if there are ways I could handle things better. Montanabw(talk) 23:04, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Working at DYK absent the full toolset
I wonder if the DYK-relevant pages could be set to template-protection, and you could leverage your template-editor rights? Do you think that would fly, from a technical or consensus perspective? Or am I completely off the mark... –xenotalk 02:46, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Not sure if that's appropriate
Maybe I'm being overly paranoid, I can see how this could have happened unintentionally. But I don't think it's entirely appropriate to notify/thank among others the 4 bureaucrats ([39] [40] [41] [42]) who were positive towards your nomination, because they are still in the process of deciding the result. Anyway, I just felt I had to get that off my chest, and I don't want to cause any hassle. Feel free to remove this comment after you have read it. -- intgr [talk] 11:47, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hawkeye thanked Avi for his work on the RFA, not his support (which Avi did not offer in any case), and the other three crats have recused themselves from the discussion, so the point, however well-meant, seems moot. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- To be frank, neither is this. Retire, or don't, but threatening it during a bureaucrat discussion ("If I don't get promoted I'm outta here!") is akin to emotional blackmail. –xenotalk 13:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
